Like the company's Dopp Kit before it, we get the feeling the Kenton Sorenson Laptop Portfolio ($225) is going to please a lot of well-heeled Uncrate readers. made from 5 oz vegetable tanned leather that will develop its own patina and character over time, this handmade sleeve is tailored to fit 15-inch laptops, along with some extra goodies like newspapers, magazines, and headphones, and, of course, boasts Kenton's signature strap closure.

It might not be cheap, but at least the extra money you'll spend on the Apolis Activism Philanthropist Tote ($300) goes to something other than lining the pockets of a wealthy designer. Handcrafted in California, this upscale tote offers a front pocket with pen holders and a key clip, a brass zipper with leather pull, leather handles, a reinforced base, canvas lining, and outer construction of 17.5 oz army canvas from Uganda, meaning that your purchase helps to create and sustain economic opportunities for developing economies, which is surely better than helping to sustain some rich bastard's gambling addiction.

Handmade in the U.S. by Amish leather workers, the Billykirk Laptop Flight Bag ($300) might cost as much as a cheap laptop, but it's surely more stylish. The bag is made from waxed canvas and leather, and offers padding for the laptop inside, a single interior pocket for stashing chargers, cords, and other goodies, adjustable shoulder straps, and a striking navy and black color scheme. Just don't go expecting this "flight" bag to keep you from having to pull out your laptop for airport security — we're pretty sure you could have a clear laptop inside a clear case and they'd still want a full cavity search.

Trying out new hot sauces is easy. Finding ones that taste awesome is not. That's where Fuego Box comes in. Available as a subscription or as a gift, this service brings boxes of little-known, high-quality hot stuff right to your door, with an emphasis on flavor instead of heat. Your first shipment will include three full-sized sauces, a few samples, and a mini tasting notebook, and every one after that will arrive with three full-sized bottles. No long-term commitment is necessary, so there's even less reason not to give it a shot.

With a timeless design that remains as rugged as it is fashionable, the G. H. Bass & Co. Duclair Duck Boot makes for a versatile addition to your wardrobe. The rubber outsole is joined by another strip of rubber running around the bottom to help keep out water, snow, and muck, while the rest of the upper consists of durable genuine leather. It's finished with metal eyelets, leather laces, canvas lining, and a fleece sock for added warmth. Available in two colorways: dark Chestnut and lighter Cognac.

Combining classic looks and materials with a future-minded design, TravelTeq Bags (€365; roughly $500) offer the best of both worlds. The company's inaugural offering, the Trash laptop bag, features a high-quality leather exterior with matching rolled handles, and a fabric middle with a central two-pull zipper closure. Inside, you'll find a padded laptop compartment, pockets for your cellphone, sunglasses, and cigar tube, two small all-purpose compartments, a secondary zippered compartment, and a large main area for magazines, chargers, and other items. Finishing things off is a small, open outer pocket set inside the handle and covered in contrasting colored leather, and more designs are on their way.

Part of the company's new Signature line, the L.L. Bean Heritage Tote ($190) is a simple, stylish traditional bag. Measuring a roomy 17" x 15" x 7.25", the Heritage is made from genuine vegetable-tanned leather that will acquire patina and character with age, and features a straightforward vintage design and rolled leather handles.
